Good news, I'd say. I haven't kept up with WiiU news whatsover, but this is about all I'll keep track of. Have they moved into utilizing DLC? This would be a perfect implementation, imo. Work on your existing cast, then release new ones once you've found a good balance.
3DS has DLC now so Wii U will most certainly have it as well
